I instinctively pulled out my guns towards her but she managed to kick them out of my hands before I could even fire a shot. That was when she started to transform. In a matter of moments the magic knight grew horns, large wings, and a tail. No mistaking it, she was a succubus.
"Fufufufu! Did you really think your reflexes were better than mine? So much to learn…" she exclaimed. Before I could even respond, she slammed me on the bed with herself right on top of me, pinning my shoulders. Damn it all, she was right!
"W-What do you want from me? Why are you doing this?" I questioned, albeit nervously. She merely chuckled. "It's simple, really. I can't have you trying to kill Overlord Theras, so the local demons and I will put an end to you and your little girlfriend." she said.
Well, at least I found out the Overlord's name. "If that's the case you're really taking your sweet time trying to kill me then, huh?" I said bitterly. All she did was smile.
"Well, I am a succubus after all, so I plan to have a little 'fun' with you." she said grinning. I just got even more nervous. "F-Fun?" I said.
"That's right. First, I plan to make sweet love to you until you pass out and then I'll kill you." Until I pass out? I think my face is getting hot. Where's Pleinair when you need her?
She pursed her lips, getting closer to me. All I could think was how terrible I would feel that my first time wouldn't be with Pleina- Suddenly, both my thought and the succubus were interrupted by the sound of the door being kicked open.
"Eh?" the succubus said wondering who busted the door. Low and behold it was Pleinair who immediately shot the succubus, right in the head. Her body fell to the floor as I rushed to my love, embracing her with a hug.
"Pleinair! Are you all right? Did those bastards hurt you?" I asked, concerned for her wellbeing. She nodded in disagreement. Thank goodness she was fine. We rushed to the first floor of the inn, after I retrieved my guns. I notice the dead body of a warrior by the bathroom entrance. He must of tried to ambush her.
"We need to get out of here. Now." I said as I grabbed Pleinair by the arm and rushed out of the inn. The cool night air didn't help the situation, especially when we saw several demons emerge out of the bar. That must be why the warrior went there in the first place.
We were outnumbered. The demons that I recognized right away were a few mages, ninjas, a heavy knight or two, and a few thieves. Like I said, outnumbered.
I gave Pleinair a stern a look and she returned one as well. We both nodded and pulled out our guns, shooting towards the approaching crowd. Our gunfire was enough to take down a few of them, but they continued to rush forwards.
Mages shot fireballs, thieves shot arrows, and the ninjas threw shurikens at us, but we were able to dodge them. A heavy knight lifted an axe toward me before I jumped out the way of the strike.
They began to circle us, so Pleinair and I stood back-to-back firing as many shots as we could. We were able to get most of them, but there was still a few more. It was time to wrap this up. *click*
"W-What! NOW my guns decide to run out of ammo!" I said, exasperated. I glanced to Pleinair. She was out too. This wasn't looking good. Just as the remaining demons were about to strike, the sound of stomping became apparent. Little tree stump demons, I think they were called 'treants' swarmed the remaining demons, trampling all of them.
The treants all huddled together waiting as someone approached behind them. "Glad to see you two are in one piece." It was the Wood Golem from the forest.
"Whew! That was close! Thanks to you and your friends, we still have the skin on our bones." I said gratefully. Pleinair bowed out of thanks.
"Don't mention it. Anyways, my name is Larix. These little fellas are also more than just friends, they're like family." Larix said as he kneeled towards the treants.
"So, if I recall correctly, and I hope do considering these ol' vines are getting withered, you two are after Overlord Theras?"
I nodded. "I plan to take him down so I can become the Overlord, thus finally earning the role of the Main Character!" I said proudly.
Larix chuckled. "Heh heh, well, I can certainly tell you'd be a better Overlord than that damn Theras."
"Did Theras do something to you?" I asked out of curiosity. Larix sighed.
"Not him directly, but it was his handy work. Let's see, how should I begin?"
